England conceded their first goal of this competition and needed to show character to get back into the game.
That courage came from their youngest player in 19-year-old Bukayo Saka, and it justified Gareth Southgate’s selection of him over his competition for that right-sided position. Saka loves to run at his opponents.
He will not be denied when he doesn’t want to be. Shortly before England’s equaliser, he burst down the right wing and played a pass into Harry Kane, who fed Raheem Sterling.
